Wednesday - today I read about how Jurors began hearing testimony Monday as to whether a former New York cab driver from Afghanistan intentionally misled police probing his son's admitted plot to bomb the city's subway system. The trial of Mohammed Wali Zazi opened on Monday in a federal court in Brooklyn with prosecutors and defense attorneys offering drastically different accounts of his exchanges with investigators looking into charges against his son, Najibullah Zazi. But prosecutor Andrew Goldsmith, in his opening statement, contended that the elder Zazi knew exactly what he was doing, as he misled investigators. The 24-year-old testified that Mohammed Wali Zazi told him to lie and say that the elder Zazi was his father, and that he had been adopted. The uncertain relationship between Amanullah and Mohammed Zazi, who are biological cousins, is central to the case.
Tuesday-today I read about A California bounty hunter says he will sue Casey Anthony and her defense attorney Jose Baez for misleading him when he helped search for her young daughter Caylee. Leonard Padilla said he is seeking $200,000. He also says he spent $50,000 to bond out Anthony when she was initially jailed. He said he also brought in people to help provide security. He said he talked to Anthony on many occasions during that time and that she never said she knew where Caylee was. At the time of Caylee's disappearance, Anthony told family members and police that the little girl was with a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez. That account resulted in one of Anthony's lying convictions. Anthony also claimed Gonzalez had kidnapped the toddler. Authorities never found a nanny by that name who cared for Caylee. They did, however, find a woman named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez, who denied ever meeting Anthony. Gonzalez then filed the defamation lawsuit. The judge handling the defamation lawsuit set Anthony's deposition for October 8.

Today I read about homophobia in Nigeria. In Nigeria, homophobia is alive and well. Rashidi Williams, who had faced physical abuse for his sexuality. Many Nigerians are convinced that homosexuality is "of the devil", against our "culture" and an encroachment of "sad Western values.“ Gays -- who only pray for the right to be left alone since they do the rest of us no harm - are the mortal threat to our "moral fabric".

I feel like white people would dread life every day if they were harassed and frowned upon for being white. That’s exactly the discrimination that goes to gays, no matter what their race. It’s not fair just because the bible says so everyone has to show hate towards a certain group of people.
